The Namesake!

The trailer for Mira Nair’s The Namesake is out and it’s making me so excited. The film is based on the book by the same name by acclaimed writer Jhumpa Lahiri. The movie stars the amazing Tabu as well as Kal Penn and deals with the identity issues that a boy (Penn) has who grows up in America with a Russian name in an Indian household. See Penn’s blog, which was written during the shooting of The Namesake, here.

Ashima (Tabu) gives birth to Gogol Ganguli. Ashoke (Irfan Khan) looks on.

    ‘Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love’ is probably the most beautiful movie I have ever seen – it shook me to my core and lived with me for days after I saw it – I also loved ‘Monsoon Wedding’ – Mira Nair’s work is breathtaking – I can’t wait to see this!

    I echo what jen said. I too think ‘Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love’ is one of the most beautiful, lush films I have ever seen – the colors are amazing! Mira Nair makes the most amazing choices with color. ‘Vanity Fair’ was breathtaking too.
